Hi, I went on <a href="http://www.carroll-library.org" target="_blank">www.carroll-library.org</a> Carroll co., IA. looking for an obit. You go to the front page, go to online resources, then you can go to the newspaper, or archives. Since this is free, not bad to try. Laura<br>

<div style="font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-size:12pt">
Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I am always looking for new Internet resources, as it is more and more expensive to travel. Has anyone used Archives.com? I am specifically wondering if they are a good source for obituaries. They say they charge an annual fee of $40.00. If their collection of resources is large enough, I can afford $40.00/year. I already am signed up for Ancestry.com. If they don't offer more or different source than I already have at Ancestry, then it's not worth it.<br>
<br>
Opinions???<br>
<br>
Thanks!!!<br>

<div>Funny you should ask. I was just talking about this the other night with a friend that has everything. She is dumping it because she said it is not worth it at all.</div>

<div><span>You can also access the Knight Library materials through this link:</span></div>
<div><span><a href="http://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/" target="_blank">http://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/</a></span></div>
<div><br><span></span></div>
<div><span>Google has a number of newspapers which have been digitized now. You can find them through <a href="http://news.google.com" target="_blank">news.google.com</a> and then going to the archives section. I like their ability to search by a date range, and their digital images of the newspaper pages are clear enough that a screen capture program like abbyy screenshot reader ($10) can be used to do a fair job of OCRing the material - or you can stick with the Text view that Google provides. Both can save a significant amount of typing if the information is clean enough. My favorite newspapers to look at are the Spokane newspapers pre 1900 (they did an amazing job of covering the whole of the Oregon territory) and the Eugene Register Guard. <br>
</span></div>
<div><br><span></span></div>
<div><span>Another favorite is the California Digital Newspaper Collection. Like the Spokane papers, it did a fantastic job of covering happenings in Oregon as well as Northern California, where so many Oregonian pioneers traveled too. <a href="http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cdnc" target="_blank">http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cdnc</a><br>
</span></div>
<div><br><span></span></div>
<div><span>Additionally, I have found that the Southern Oregon Digital collection has some great materials digitized. While not newspapers, there are a lot of other materials to search through</span></div>
<div><span><a href="http://soda.sou.edu/about.html" target="_blank">http://soda.sou.edu/about.html</a><br></span></div>
<div> <br><span>On Footnote (the subscription service) my favorite aspect of their search engine is the ability to limit your search to materials added in the last 30, 60 or 90 days.</span><br><br>More sites are digitizing collections all the time. To find them, search in google by the state name and "digital newspaper collection". And, when you run across a tidbit or story that catches your eye or fills in a gap in your knowledge of an area, consider taking a few extra minutes to transcribe it and send the transcription to one of the sites like Orgenweb or Genealogytrails so that it can be added to their free webpages for others to find too. <br>

<div><span>You can also access the Knight Library materials through this link:</span></div>
<div><span><a href="http://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/" target="_blank">http://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/</a></span></div>
<div><br><span></span></div>
<div><span>Google has a number of newspapers which have been digitized now. You can find them through <a href="http://news.google.com" target="_blank">news.google.com</a> and then going to the archives section. I like their ability to search by a date range, and their digital images of the newspaper pages are clear enough that a screen capture program like abbyy screenshot reader ($10) can be used to do a fair job of OCRing the material - or you can stick with the Text view that Google provides. Both can save a significant amount of typing if the information is clean enough. My favorite newspapers to look at are the Spokane newspapers pre 1900 (they did an amazing job of covering the whole of the Oregon territory) and the Eugene Register Guard. <br>
</span></div>
<div><br><span></span></div>
<div><span>Another favorite is the California Digital Newspaper Collection. Like the Spokane papers, it did a fantastic job of covering happenings in Oregon as well as Northern California, where so many Oregonian pioneers traveled too. <a href="http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cdnc" target="_blank">http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cdnc</a><br>
</span></div>
<div><br><span></span></div>
<div><span>Additionally, I have found that the Southern Oregon Digital collection has some great materials digitized. While not newspapers, there are a lot of other materials to search through</span></div>
<div><span><a href="http://soda.sou.edu/about.html" target="_blank">http://soda.sou.edu/about.html</a><br></span></div>
<div> <br><span>On Footnote (the subscription service) my favorite aspect of their search engine is the ability to limit your search to materials added in the last 30, 60 or 90 days.</span><br><br>More sites are digitizing collections all the time. To find them, search in google by the state name and "digital newspaper collection". And, when you run across a tidbit or story that catches your eye or fills in a gap in your knowledge of an area, consider taking a few extra minutes to transcribe it and send the transcription to one of the sites like Orgenweb or Genealogytrails so that it can be added to their free webpages for others to find too. <br>
